Day 3: Dear Mind

Today, I realized that my mind likes to wander off to the future- especially during meditation. Tonight let’s write a letter to my mind.

Love,

Karen

Dearest Mind,

I love you! You are a very important faculty. You help me get things done! Today, I realized that you don’t enjoy the present moment as much as you can. You like to daydream and plan ahead into the future. You enjoy coming up with scenarios and playing what-could-have-been.

You know, that’s not going to help us at all. If you notice, we usually make mistakes when you wander off. Also, we don’t get to embrace the moment.

Please know that the future is going to be ok as long as we fully live in the present. From now on, you have only 1 task and that is to take in all that you can in the now.

Let’s try to follow what Victoria Moran said,

“In this moment, there is plenty of time. In this moment, you are precisely as you should be. In this moment, there is infinite possibility.”
